Be Good Or Be Good At It

Say good morning to the cold bathroom floor- mouthwash tastes like a reused mojito vomit erupting from a molten core- in the sink, fermented blood starts to show from sacrament taken on Thursday night, my last supper. Judas, feel what I feel- whiskey nailed to a cross, my final fight. No more beer or tonics will make me kneel genuflected for a porcelain god- today I will rise steady on two feet, not carried by a bouncer as he plods to a dented cab in a smoky side street My dear friend, you dined silent at my side, But under your thorns I cannot hide

:D Okay, sonneteer... love the bite in this one. It's a sonnet I'm having published... so many forms won't be touched by the journals, but sonnets? It's all the juice in the little box. They are here to stay. Love the volta. Girl is off with her dad for half an hour. Mom break. Nice to stop by here.
